the croc Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 not sure how much rake i generate each month but was ranked 29th player on virgin last month so i know its above the average.so with pokerkings and poker trillion coming along would i be better moving sites to play cash? obviously new sites would give me bonus that i can clear,also 30% rakeback is much more than i am getting from virgin i would think.benefits of virgin,established site with good relations with pl,free entry to 2000 euro freeroll when in top 30,approx 1600 v points last month. decisions decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Duke Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Re: where to play??? Dont think loyalty comes into it :unsure Its about whats best to maximise your returns in my opinion.If i was playing cash as much as you croc i would be looking at the best rake deals.Of course preference of network may come into it etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Re: where to play??? It sounds as though Virgin are earning a decent amount of rake from you. It might be worth contacting them and explaining that although you'd like to keep playing there, you can get a better rakeback deal elsewhere, and asking if they can give you a better deal. The worst they can do is say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Re: where to play??? Yes deffo email them to see what they offer. When I decided to give cash a go I emailed all my prima sites to see the best deal I could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Duke Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Re: where to play??? U got me wondering about what your actual rake will be. Working off your new level $1/$2 and presuming you play for 2 hours a day on one table only.With a rake offer of 30% the very rough estimates are as follows ps based on 100 hands p/hour on 6 handed table(Boss is only 5 handed calculator only allowed for 6 though) Daily $14 Weekly $101 Monthly $432 Annual $5,256 Hope it helps :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Re: where to play??? I'd go where the rakeback was too. Which has brought up a Q - I don't think i have rakeback on Paradise, but have just started playing cash games there - would i be able to e-mail them asking for a rakeback deal or is there anything else i can do?
